Amen. And what a cool experience! That country is certainly among my top 3 fave places in the world! By the way, you just got me craving for some dal bhat - I'll need to check out some Nepali places around to get some!

Ryland (human blade) & Kalam (halfling assassin by @Finarfin), multiplayer run: Part 5 - Bandit Camp This little snippet of a conversation basically summarizes the situation after we had bluffed our way inside the camp through Raiken and Tazok: Kalam played it cool, blended in with the...

Ehm, I'm not sure how to tell you this, but I'm afraid I've lost Mephala to a trapped chest in the Guarded Compound. And no, it's not the Maze trap - I had to burn a ProMagic scroll there once, so that one's already on my radar - but apparently there's another game ending trap that will...

I hadn't really come across Television before, but since New York Dolls are right up my alley, I'm already a fan! Nice! Reminds me of times when travelling on a really tight budget when even the equivalent of 100GP (or whatever +1 sling cost these days) would hit your liquidity - "We splashed...

Sounds pretty exciting! If only one could travel with the Bag of Holding, right? Summer clothes, winter gear and skis, wetsuit and scuba, camera for screenshots, all of it readily available without even clouding your aura, lol. Reminds me of some of my characters' (especially the UAI types)...

@Alesia_BH Hey, hey! It's always great to hear from you and thanks for the support. I wish everything works out nice and smooth for you and feel free to join in whenever might be the right time - you'll know where to find us.

Mephala, half-elven mage/thief: Part 5 We were ready to hit the bandit camp. Your move, Raiken - bring in the Trojan horse! Thanks to her VIP festival pass, Mephala was able to scout the premises, collect some intel and even prepare a couple of snares before resting. We'll strike after...

Mephala, half-elven mage/thief: Part 4 Fun fact: I've got 1,148 screenshots from Mephala's BG1 run. Nashkel Mines begin at #520, so that's roughly the midpoint of the adventure. I suppose it illustrates how solo playthroughs tend to accelerate once you dive into the main questline, at least for...

Ryland (human blade) & Kalam (halfling assassin by @Finarfin), multiplayer run: Part 4 - Nashkel Mines We kicked off the session on the rooftop of Durlag's Tower where we had recently reached our L7s at 40k XP. That, among other things, meant access to L3 spells through Ryland's book. As...

Mephala, half-elven mage/thief: Part 3 Following her recent visit to Durlag's Tower, Mephala's investors were eagerly awaiting her earnings call. The results exceeded even the most bullish analyst forecasts and, with a robust net cash position of 18k, she was ready to reap some dividends. Our...

Mephala, half-elven mage/thief: Part 2 By successfully scribing all the scrolls available at High Hedge, plus Glitterdust from Feldepost's, Mephala has officially passed the bar exam. At mage level 2, she had four available L1 slots thanks to the Ring of Wizardry—her default set-up being 2x...

Mephala, half-elven mage/thief: Part 1 Mephala's first words were neither "mama" nor "dada"; they were "Facio, Voco, Vere". Thanks to her freshly summoned familiar, now safely stored in her bag, Mephala will enjoy a sufficient HP cushion to survive a critical failure when setting traps at level...

Mephala, half-elven mage/thief: Introduction Technical Notes: Game version: BGEE 2.6.6.0 Mods: SCS v35.25, BG Tweaks (cosmetic changes) SCS install: all tactical components and AI enhancements, limited spell revisions (only core spell-system changes, rebalancing of powerful spells, spells...

Ryland (human blade) & Kalam (halfling assassin by @Finarfin), multiplayer run: Part 1 - From FAI to Beregost With the tragic entrée to the Baldur's Gate saga behind us, we were finally ready for some action. First, we borrowed some adventure gear from Imoen - sorry girl, you're a friend and...

For sure, that and plus the fact that you were playing the classic version (thus Arkona's heavy use of Seeking + magic bullets, as opposed to my barbarian's fast track with a strength-stacking Everard) were probably the main differences, although it was still a great source of inspiration and...

I totally get it with the tents - I once went to see a circus in a chapiteau and it was beyond awful. Anyway, the sith triumvirate of Tarnesh, Zordral, and Tranzig is certainly high on the list of BG1 showstoppers, as several of my characters would tell had they still been alive. Have a good...

@Finarfin Great to have a new kid on the blockchain! Good hunting!

Hey there, hi there! I just wanted to chip in with a few updates on my current off-the-thread activity. Remember that totemic druid party run that I mentioned here some time ago? Well, they got stopped cold by the Insane SCS balor in the Underdark. Following that, I embarked on a practice solo...

I know it's a shame, but despite having had lived in the country for several months some years ago, I would now only be able to say "you" and "me" in that sentence. Funnily enough, there's no word for "please", otherwise I'd hopefully be able to squeeze that out as well 😃.
